NCIt definition : Human HUWE1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xp11.22 and is approximately
155 kb in length. This allele, which encodes E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HUWE1 protein,
plays a role in the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins
involved in apoptosis, tumor suppression, chromatin remodeling and DNA replication
and repair. Mutations in the gene are associated with Turner type X-linked syndromic
cognitive disability.;
